REVIEW – The Interview – because America.
| 18. December, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Returning Guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week, Katey, Patches, David, and The Guardian’s Jordan Hoffman defy North Korea and the bigwigs at Sony by reviewing The Interview, a movie that will never see the light of day. Drowned in controversy over its depiction of Kim Jong-un, Sony buried the latest from Seth Rogen and This Is the End co-director Evan Goldberg after hacker terrorists threatened to attack theaters showing the picture. Which is too bad… because the movie is pretty damn funny. Hoping that one day, listeners will be able to this lowbrow-highbrow gem, the FITWR crew decided a review was still in order. A brief mention of Sony truly offensive holiday offering, Annie, and answers to this week’s lightning round question rounds out this week’s review episode.

REVIEW – Wild
| 13. December, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Top Five!

This week, Katey and Patches embark on a spirit journey to reach higher understanding of Wild, the latest film from Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallée. Starring Reese Witherspoon as memoirist Cheryl Strayed, whose real hike across the Pacific Crest Trail is chronicled in an Oscar-friendly new biopic. Is the movie worth the trek or does it trip up along the way? That and thoughts on Chris Rock’s Top Five on this week’s FITWR review episode.

51 – JuxtaposEpisode: Exodus and The Best of 2014’s Not-Movies
| 9. December, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Plus 2014 Gift Guide!

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are back with some 2014 clean-up activities. First, Patches wants to know what media or narrative experience from 2014 we’d put on our Top Ten lists if we weren’t so strict about the “only movies” rule. Then, each host takes on a good idea for a gift this holiday season in this week’s mini segment. Finally, It’s time to talk Exodus: Gods and Kings. Patches and David have seen Ridley Scott’s latest and it’s bad enough that they drag Katey and Da7e into a conversation about it. That plus 2014’s star-struck throwaway roles!
